XRP has recently fallen under the $2.20 mark, triggering a death cross pattern on its price chart. This technical formation often signals prolonged downward movement. Multiple analysts now forecast that XRP could decline to about $1.50, with some warning of a possible drop to $1.00 if critical support levels fail to hold.
The death cross emerged as XRP slipped from $2.22 down to around $2.18, accompanied by lower highs near $2.185. This pattern supports the ongoing bearish momentum. Crypto analyst Umair remarked that a similar setup previously led to a nearly 15% drop, aligning with a fall into the $1.50 range, and he added, “If XRP briefly wicks below $1.82 but snaps back inside the range, that can mark the bottom. But if it closes under there, the range loses integrity and the freefall begins.” Further bearish views, including those by analyst Master, suggest capitulation could send XRP to $1.00, while technical analysis also contemplates a decline to $1.25, around 50% below recent highs.
Beyond technical indicators, weaknesses in Ripple’s fundamental use case raise concerns. Financial institutions using RippleNet generally do not require XRP for transactions because the network supports fiat currencies and the RLUSD stablecoin, which banks favor due to XRP’s high volatility.
Additionally, Ripple holds a large portion of XRP’s 100 billion pre-mined tokens, releasing them monthly from escrow. Despite resolving its lawsuit with the SEC, XRP has not experienced a sustained price recovery. Price predictions vary, with Changelly estimating XRP might reach $2.05 in 2025 if market conditions remain cautious, while Wallet Investor forecasts possible falls to $1.35. These factors collectively contribute to the current view that XRP may no longer be an attractive purchase for many investors.
